Seoul, Korea - Korean electronics makers LG and Samsung announced on Wednesday that they have partnered to develop a new mobile TV delivery standard for the North American market, as the standards body for the region prepares to adopt a technology in early 2009.

The companies said the solution will use existing terrestrial digital TV broadcast bandwidth, with no impact on existing digital TV and with minimum broadcasting equipment investment.

It will be based on a combination of LG's Mobile Pedestrian Handheld (MPH) and Samsung's A-VSB (Advanced-Vestigial Sideband) technologies.

The Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) standards body is expected to select a mobile/handheld digital TV standard for North America in early 2009, following technology trials to be conducted by the Open Mobile Video Coalition.
